FrizzleFried:
It has been what... 2 weeks since you bought it?

:dizzy:

DudeRegular:
Not you sepcifically OP, but this situation is part of the reason i haven't tried selling on the boards. I travel for work and don't want to get into some drama over timeliness of whatever if I am not checking KLOV or BYOAC constantly.

It doesn't need to be constant. Just communicate. "I'm on vacation - will ship when I get back in 2 weeks" - and the problem would not exist.

FrizzleFried:
...and people need to be a little more patient. 2 weeks in and the guy goes nuclear posting a negative feedback thread on both KLOV and BYOAC? Not even a "Possible deal going wrong" but rather a "DO NOT BUY FROM" thread? That there is a bit pre-mature, don'tcha think? I can see an "inquiry" post... but a full on "This guy sucks" post after only 2 weeks? I know one thing, a certain someone is going on my ever growing "LIST" if you get my drift... and it sure as hell isn't Millertime.

CheffoJeffo:
Aside from the obvious "if he'd just communicate" that people like to beat into the ground (ProTip: EVERYBODY, including the seller, already knows this. You annoy them when you think they don't), there is a lesson to be learned in how things are perceived by the community at large.

This is a hobby where there can be a lot of waiting. A lot. You will feel ignored and disrespected. If you take it personally and start preaching, things will not end well. You may burn bridges that you later wish you hadn't (although eating enough crow can bring you back into good graces). Or you may not care -- these are a bunch of folks who fiddle with old video games and don't affect the rest of your life.

Frizz (Hi Frizz!) isn't particularly harsh in comparison to most of the folks in this hobby. I was not kidding with the "do not sell to" lists. I know at least some of those "Sorry, somebody else PM'd me first" rejections are made as a result of a user's prior interactions in the community (I prefer "I'd rather run this board over with my car than sell to you", but that's me.).

No seller wants to deal with the potential for drama and there is always another buyer out there.
